Wondering when to book your newborn photos? Here’s what to know and why so many mums are grateful they didn’t wait, even when they didn’t feel like themselves.

Planning a babymoon near Yeppoon, Byfield or Great Keppel Island? A quiet getaway before your baby arrives might be the most beautiful time to take maternity photos, relaxed, connected and away from the rush of everyday life.

I didn’t have maternity photos when I was pregnant. Recently, I photographed a relaxed outdoor maternity and family session at Stoney Creek in Byfield, just outside Rockhampton, and it completely changed how I see them. Because this is what I would have wanted.
